Chapter 149
Because Yuan Dongliang went in time, the people in the house also woke up early, and some were injured, but there were no lives. It's just that a beam fell down, the second master became demented, and the original ancestor became a cripple.
Facing the ending, Ning Nianzhidu was a little speechless, if he died, he could still do it crisply, but this half-dead was difficult to say. The second master is okay, he has enjoyed all his life of glory and wealth, but the original step-ancestor doesn't even have a child.
However, if he didn't die, the He family could be regarded as having a way to live. Ning Nianzhi has always felt that it is too stupid for the He family to compensate himself for this behavior in order to retaliate, and the ants are still stealing their lives, let alone people?
The second master is not dead, he is more guilty when he is alive, and the responsibility of the He family can be smaller, plus the fact that he was beaten and scolded by the Miao family and the Xiao Miao family before, maybe he can really find another way to live.
As for the future, Ning Nianzhi didn't want to ask, so Yuan Dongliang didn't say anything.
Without the second room jumping in front, the third and fourth rooms also stopped in an instant. But Ning Nianzhi's life was not much better, because the second room was too miserable, the death of the dead, the injuries of the wounded, and now the whole house, just one Yuan Chengzong is still a whole person, oh, plus Yuan Weiyang, he is still too young, and he can only be counted as half.
The old man is not cold-blooded and cold-hearted, otherwise, for the sake of the peace of the family back then, he should not have found Yuan Dongliang back. The Ning family raised Yuan Dongliang very well, and he didn't have to worry about his grandson not being able to eat or dress well, being bullied or something. As for the original family, the heir has already been decided, and if it is changed rashly, there will definitely be cholera.
For the sake of the family, it is the most suitable choice to let Yuan Dongliang continue to stay in the Ning family.
But he, for the sake of the old lady who was almost blind from crying, and for his deceased son and daughter-in-law, he went to the Ning family in person, said all the good things, made all kinds of concessions, and brought Yuan Dongliang back.
Even if the second master's family is separated, it is also his own son. After the death of Yuan Kangming, the old man also said intentionally or unintentionally that this original family was to be inherited by the second master. Now that it's like this, the old man himself feels a little guilty.
said that he would give it, but it turned out to be taken back and given to a hairy boy. Think about it from another perspective, if you are played by someone like this, you will definitely not be reconciled, and your grievances will be difficult to settle. Of course, the old man couldn't say anything to his old lady, after all, the old lady has always been disgusted with the second room.
But he can't sleep at night, and he rarely sees a smile during the day, and the old lady is not stupid, how can he not see it?
It is absolutely impossible for her to take the second room back. It's hard to get out, just to see that the other party is pitiful and get people back, in case something happens in the future, it's too late to regret it.
After discussing with Ning Nianzhi, he immediately made a decision, and after the old man couldn't sleep again and again at night, the old lady spoke: "There is no woman who can take care of things in the second house, before, the second child came over, and said that Weiyang had no one to take care of, and I also said, find an aunt to send over, now like this, I'm afraid there will be no suitable girl, after all, the second child has become like that, what can you do when you enter the door?" So, I thought about it, let's choose a daughter-in-law for Chengzong, Chengzong himself is affectionate and wants to guard Xiao Miao's family, but he is a big man's family, where can he see the private feelings of his children as the most important? ”
"Even if it's not for Weiyang, it's for this mansion, he has to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible and enter the door." The old lady said earnestly, and the old man's eyes immediately lit up: "You said this, but there is a candidate?" ”
"Before, Chengzong said that he would wait and see, firstly, he wanted to keep Xiao Miao's family for a few years, and secondly, he was afraid that he would wronged Weiyang. The first one, I said, a manly man, where can I be like a mother-in-law and mother-in-law. This second one, let's just find one that will be good for Weiyang, right? Xiao Miao's family, what kind of concubines and the like? As long as the concubine has an aunt and brother, she can handle it, and she can be regarded as a good candidate. ”
The old man groaned a little: "I'm afraid that the steproom has a child......"
Even if you really liked Weiyang before, you have your own biological children, where can you not think about your own children?
"By the time she gave birth to a child, Wei Yang would be six or seven years old, and she had already moved to the outer courtyard, as long as Chengzong had the ability herself, could that woman stretch her hand so long?" The old lady raised her eyebrows and said: "Wei Yang is the eldest son, you will be free in the future, and you will often let Wei Yang come over, you can point him to his homework or something, and then send a small servant to follow, you can always take care of it." ”
The old man was about to nod, but he paused again: "Although this method is good, but the women of the Miao family, I don't dare to let them enter the door anymore, is there any other more appropriate way?" ”
"If you don't choose the Miao family, you can choose someone else." The old lady thought for a while and said, "It's just that I have to inquire about it, Chengzong still has his mother's filial piety." ”
The old man was a little speechless and stopped, and the old lady saw what he meant at a glance, and was a little reluctant: "I'm afraid that Chengzong also has some misunderstandings about me in his heart, I chose the right candidate, I'm afraid that he won't like it, if not, I will go back and bind this suitable girl into a book, after all, there is a step-grandfather, the step-ancestor doesn't even have a child under his knees, and if he has a good character, I'll list it for you, family background or something, you and Chengzong said it yourself?" ”
The old man was a little helpless, but he also knew that the old lady was telling the truth, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "Nacheng, I'll ask Chengzong when I go back, see what kind of girl he likes, this time I can't indulge him anymore, Xiao Miao's like that, our family can't afford it." ”
Letting go of a heart, the old couple slowly fell asleep.
This kind of thing is actually very simple, as long as you find an official media to give you an order, no more than three days, they can tell the situation of the suitable girls in the entire Cloud City, and if necessary, even the portrait can be prepared.
The old lady's order was to include the girls in the towns near Cloud City, and the more the better.
The matchmaker sent the information here, and as soon as she turned her head, the old lady stuffed it all into the old man. The old man was still a little overwhelmed before, and he had no experience in being a matchmaker at all, but when he went to Yuan Chengzong once or twice, his face became thicker, and he simply pushed all the things in the military camp to Yuan Dongliang, and he only went to Yuan Chengzong or Yuan Jizu every day with a booklet.
It made Yuan Dongliang pick up a big bargain and completely secured the position of the heir of the original family. No, it should be said that Yuan Dongliang was the leader of the original family thoroughly. The old man's prestige is still there, but Yuan Dongliang is in the barracks, and he also has the qualifications to say the same.
It was another spring, when Brother Guang'er was two and a half years old, Ning Nianzhi became pregnant again.
The old lady couldn't close her mouth happily, and while hugging Brother Guang'er, she commanded the people around her: "Hurry up, change the tea for your young lady, you can't drink this in the future, and you have to prepare for food and clothing......"
Ning Nianzhi couldn't cry or laugh: "Forget about eating, what do you have to prepare for this dress?" The clothes of the previous years are still there, and I only wore them a few times when I was pregnant with Brother Guang, and they are still new, so I don't need to prepare anything else. ”
The old lady shook her head: "Where can I not prepare, the clothes have been put for two years, but they have not become wrinkled, and the colors and styles are not popular, people like us, it's not that they have no money, they can make new ones, why wear the old ones?" I have to blame you for waiting for the child to be born, my brother can wear new clothes at that time, why can't I do it here? You can't choose one over the other. ”
This can be pulled to the eccentric eye, Ning Nianzhi is also helpless, but think about it, it doesn't cost anything to make a few clothes, ten months, four bodies a month, it's just a matter of ten horses, it's really not worth anything. I didn't shirk it, and generously called the embroidery girl to come over and measure herself.
After lunch, the old lady discussed things with Ning Nianzhi again: "While you are still shallow, let's go to the pillar incense and ask the Buddha for blessing, whether it is a boy or a girl, just want to be healthy and healthy in ......."
Without saying anything, I saw that the old man led Yuan Dongliang back. The old lady was surprised: "When is this time, why are you coming back?" ”
"The emperor has died." The old man sat down and sighed, and both the old lady and Ning Nianzhi were stunned: "Dead?" Isn't it good-ended? ”
The old man waved his hand: "Last month, the Ning family sent a letter, saying that the emperor was ...... cough, it's just that there is some trouble now, the emperor went suddenly, this holy decree of succession has not yet been written, and in the capital, I'm afraid it's going to be chaos. ”
Ning Nianzhi's face turned white in an instant, and the old lady coughed vigorously and glared at the old man. The old man was still a little dazed, but Yuan Dongliang hurriedly stepped forward to appease Ning Nianzhi: "Don't worry, there is someone in Dad's hands, no matter who it is, you have to win over Dad'......s father first."
The old lady interrupted him: "Your daughter-in-law has a body, so she must not be frightened!" ”
Yuan Dongliang reacted at this time, and wanted to reach out and press Ning Nianzhi's stomach, in front of the elders, it was not easy to do such an intimate action. Seeing that Ning Nianzhi's face was a little bad, he comforted him even harder: "When Dad wrote last time, he had already expected these situations, and there would definitely be countermeasures, so don't worry." ”
Sometimes Ning Zhen would write a letter to tell Yuan Dongliang some things in the court, probably because men would not say anything soft to anyone other than their daughter-in-law, and the letter was a little too boring, Ning Nianyi never liked to read it very much, so naturally he didn't know the content of the letter.
"Did Dad really expect it?" Hearing Yuan Dongliang say this, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly looked up at him, and Yuan Dongliang nodded vigorously: "That's natural, when did I lie to you?" If you don't believe me, I'm going to bring my father's letter to you. ”
Without waiting for Ning Nianzhi to nod, he turned around to go out, his study was never allowed to enter the maids, even if it was to clean and tidy up, it must be done by having a master, and such a thing as finding a letter could only be done by Yuan Dongliang himself.
didn't wait for him to go out, Ning Nianzhi hurriedly said: "No need to go, I believe you can't do it?" The emperor has never expressed any dissatisfaction with the crown prince before, since the emperor has died, it must be the crown prince who succeeds to the throne, and the capital will be in chaos, is it possible that there is a prince who has rebelled? ”
"Although the crown prince is right, he is not the emperor after all." The old man touched his beard and said: "The fight was a bit powerful before, the emperor probably wanted to indulge them, let them show their horses' hooves, and also clear the way forward for the prince, but I didn't expect that the emperor would suddenly ......."
Those people have been raised to have an appetite, and they are naturally unwilling to wait for the prince to ascend to the throne to be an idle prince by themselves. If the crown prince dies or is disabled, then he will naturally be disqualified from inheriting the throne.
can be the lord of the world, this temptation can make people kill their fathers, let alone kill their brothers. Even ordinary people's families, there are also those who murder their brothers for the sake of family property, and the royal fight is not for a few taels of silver, but for the whole world.
The kind of feeling that sitting on the dragon chair, everyone from all over the world has to come to worship, everyone from all over the world is respectful and obedient, and I have the final say all over the world, who will not have this desire in their hearts?
Besides, the emperor didn't leave a will or anything, so it's impossible to say who this throne is.
Although the prince has the support of Qingliu and orthodoxy, the other princes are not without outsiders, who has no more or less someone who can use it? It's just that there are three or two nails in the broken boat, and there are many people who are staring at the dragon's work, and they can't climb the prince's boat, and they will be more successful if they get on someone else's boat and get the dragon's work.
"Daddy's ability, don't you know it? Moreover, the emperor loves the prince in his heart, and there will definitely be a secret hand, and the queen is there, this matter is almost a sure thing, you really don't have to worry. Yuan Dongliang said with a smile, pinching Ning Nianzhi's palm: "If you eat and drink well and take care of your body, your father and mother can be more at ease with you." In a few months, give me a chubby son, and then my father and mother will be free, maybe they will be able to come and see us. ”
Although Ning Nianzhi was still not at ease, he also knew his father's ability, so he reluctantly pressed his anxiety, forcing himself to sleep and eat every day. But as soon as I am free, I can't help but think about it. After all, no one can say what the final outcome of the rebellion will be until the last moment. Even when the crown prince ascends the throne, there may be changes.
The Ning family and the prince are on the same rope, if something happens to the prince, the Ning family will have no way forward.
In order to keep himself from thinking nonsense, Ning Nianzhi simply began to find something for himself. In the current mood, I have to find something festive to make myself happier. first asked Tingxue and Yingxue, Yingxue had just come out of confinement, and she was a little more mellow than before she got married, but it was also better-looking.
When she came into the house, her face looked very good, and Ning Nianzhi didn't need to ask Liu Tiezhu if she was good to her.
Listening to Xue's belly, she will give birth in half a month, Ning Nianzhi called her once, and she didn't dare to call someone over again, what if half of the road was born?
The old lady saw that she was looking for something to do, but she didn't get anything done, so she called someone over: "What about the successors of Chengzong and step-ancestors, the old man has also considered it, and he only waited for his mother's filial piety to get married, they are little uncles, you don't want to interfere more." But the third girl and the fourth girl's family affairs, you can still ask a few words, it's better to ask the third girl and the fourth girl to come over to live for a few days, you can also ask them, you can also help palm the eye, right? ”
Ning Nianyi patted his head, and suddenly reacted: "I said, I always feel like I forgot something, it turned out to be the third sister and the fourth sister, the two of them haven't come to the door for two months, I calculate, the third sister is sixteen, and the fourth sister is also fourteen, and it is indeed time to say goodbye." ”
Both of them are concubines, but there is a sister-in-law on the third original show, and the third lady will not treat a concubine as a baby, and this marriage may not be given or not. The fourth Yuan Min is also a concubine, but because there is no concubine in the fourth room, she is only a girl, even if the fourth lady herself doesn't ask, there are still four masters.
Moreover, Yuan Min is only fourteen, and he hasn't done the ceremony yet, so he is not too anxious.
Immediately, Ning Nianzhi sent someone to pick up Yuan Xiu and Yuan Min. Yuan Xiu is now very different from before, the little girl who was timid and didn't even dare to say a word before, since she got married quietly, she has slowly become bolder, entered the door, smiled shyly and saluted, and came to the old lady and said: "I have nothing to do at home on weekdays, I like to do some needlework, this is for my grandmother to wipe her forehead, grandmother likes to see if she likes it or not." There are also shoes, I deliberately found my grandmother's old shoes, and I made them by comparison, and my grandmother also tried them, and if they didn't fit, I would go back and change them. ”
said and looked at Ning Nianzhi again: "There is also a sister-in-law, I only made a coat, sister-in-law, don't dislike me for making less, and Brother Guang'er's tiger head shoes, this looks like the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, just to ward off evil spirits." ”
Yuan Min said with a smile: "The third sister is so diligent, but it makes me very lazy, but fortunately, I think about my grandmother and sister-in-law on weekdays, and I also do something, otherwise, wouldn't I be compared to the third sister today?" ”
As he spoke, he took the box in the maid's hand: "What I gave to my grandmother is the Buddhist scriptures that I copied by myself, bless my grandmother with a long life and peace and security." He clasped his hands together and said, and gave Ning Nianzhi a painting scroll: "It took me two months to paint, what does my sister-in-law feel about the scenery in the house now?" ”
Ning Nianzhi glanced at it and nodded again and again: "It's really good-looking, it's hard for you, I actually remember it in my mind, and I can still draw it so realistically, this hand-made painting effort is getting better and better." ”
"That's natural, thank you for your sister-in-law's guidance." Yuan Min said with a smile, and took out another thing: "This is for Brother Guang'er, and it contains some spices that I have made myself, which can ward off mosquitoes, by the way, what about Brother Guang'er?" ”
Speaking of this kid, Ning Nianzhi was a little helpless: "I went to play, I can't be idle for a moment, and I don't know who I look like......
Before she finished speaking, the old lady took it: "Naturally, it's like Dongliang, but I asked your mother, Dongliang was a child, that temperament was called a skin, your mother said to let the two of you paint red in the yard, one is good-looking, and he led you out to find someone to fight." ”
Yuan Xiu and Yuan Min hadn't heard about Yuan Dongliang when he was a child, and their eyes widened at this time, and Ning Nianzhi was a little embarrassed. At that time, she was all pampered, but when she went home, she was afraid that her father and mother would beat her, so the black pot was all pushed on Yuan Dongliang.
It is also Yuan Dongliang who has been good to himself since he was a child, otherwise, he would be a girl, and I am afraid that a family law is indispensable. Speaking of which, Brother Guang'er's temperament, could it be that he followed himself?
Ning Nianzhi laughed twice, and quickly changed the topic: "The two sisters have a heart, this gift, I like it very much, grandmother, do you like it or not?" ”
The old lady took the forehead and gestured on her head: "Isn't it good-looking?" ”
Ning Nianzhi nodded hurriedly: "That's naturally good-looking." ”
"Since it's good-looking, can I not be satisfied?" The old lady said with a smile, and patted the Buddhist scriptures again: "There are still these books, which are also sent to my heart, I am planning to worship the Buddha in the next few days, so as to bless our brother Guang'er and be safe, bless our ......" glanced at Ning Nianzhi's stomach, thinking that he couldn't say it for three months, so he silently recited a few words in his heart, and said: "Bless our Sister Xiu'er and Sister Min to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible, marry a good husband, and be prosperous and rich for a lifetime." ”
"Grandmother!" The little girl was shy, blushing and hiding behind Ning Nianzhi, and the funny old lady couldn't help laughing: "What I said is the truth, a girl is reincarnated for a second time when she marries, but it's important, you all have to keep your eyes open and take a good look." ”
The little girls who said that they were even more shy, and the old lady pulled Yuan Xiu out: "Do you still need to be shy in front of your grandmother?" Come, tell your grandmother first, what are your marriages, what are your mother's regulations? If it is not suitable, our original daughter does not have to worry about not being able to marry, and we will find a better one when we go back. ”
Yuan Xiu's heart moved, although her face was red, she didn't hide anymore, but her voice was still small, for fear of being heard: "My mother said that the little master of the Min family is a good match." ”
Although I won't mention it to the little girl when I discuss marriage, it is decided that the dowry will be prepared, and it will be revealed to whom family and who is marrying. If you have a distressed child, you have to find a way to let the two children meet. Yuan Xiu is a concubine, and the third lady will not think so thoughtfully for her, so Yuan Xiu doesn't know what the little young master of the Min family looks like.
"The Min family? But the Min family in Tongcheng? The old lady thought for a while before asking, Yuan Xiu nodded shyly and timidly, and the old lady shook her head: "It's a little far away, and I don't know what kind of character this young master of the Min family is, but you don't have to worry, and live here with peace of mind, go back and ask your sister-in-law to help you inquire, and I promise that I won't let you marry casually." ”
"Grandmother loves me, thank you grandmother." Yuan Xiu hurriedly said, and saluted Ning Nianzhi again: "Thank you, sister-in-law, I want to ......."
Ning Nianzhi smiled and made up for her: "You're still bothering me, aren't you?" No trouble, no trouble, who made you sisters? Sister Min doesn't have to worry, when you are ready, your sister-in-law will definitely help you find out about your marriage. ”
